I've been polite and civil with you, and indicated to you why TECEP exams may not be as popular for students as UExcel exams that have instantcert.com flash cards, and practice exams. I also explained to you how your chances of getting into a better graduate program are better coming from a higher tier graduate program, why standardized exams are important, and explained to you how the statistics you provided were misleading. You then attacked my character and integrity through ad hominems. So if my opinions anger you, you just want to censure them? That does speak volumes.
This thread hasn't just angered me; the thread has angered many people who attend three different schools if you haven't noticed. It is impossible to have a debate with you when you're arguing against things that haven't been said. I don't know if you're twisting people's words on purpose or if there are issues with comprehension; but, it stifles the debate. I'm not going to spend several threads correcting your comprehension of, not only what I've said, but what articles I've presented say. You went on and on and on about how Excelsior students shouldn't be compared to new graduates at traditional colleges when they weren't. That particular ranking is clearly comparing mid-career salaries across all schools. 30 and 40 year olds are not being compared to people in their early and mid-twenties who have just graduated from college.

You completely miscomprehended or misconstrued what I said bout standardized tests. I did not once say that standardized tests are not important for admissions; I said the opposite. Whether or not they are good predictors of college success, schools still use them to weed out candidates. It is a fact that certain college admissions exams, especially the SAT, have had many problems. However, my main point was that multiple choice tests are not the best evaluators of analytical thinking. Even the analytical portion of the GRE is not in the multiple choice format.
